Scanner payment

Scannerzahlung

Hello everyone,
Is Migros working on a scanning option for cell phones?

I am currently using the Migros app for my shopping (shopping list).
Now I walk through Migros with two devices (scanner and smartphone) which makes shopping a bit tedious if Migros already wants you to use the app and the scanners.

Now the question is whether Migros is already working on generating a smartphone solution for the entire shopping process? (Shopping list, scanning, payment (Twitch or similar) with the smartphone)

Best regards

I've been wishing for this for a few years now ... it would be really practical. Also because you could then finally use self-scanning in all stores, regardless of the equipment with scanners and payment stations. And it would probably also be cheaper for Migros (after the initial development), as customers would bring the necessary hardware themselves.

Migros could only benefit from this and would no longer have to provide scanner systems.
I'm completely with you on that.

I think we would have been technically ready for a long time.
You just have to do it ;)

@n_vogel: I would also welcome this, but unlike you, I would prefer software ANDHARDWARE to come from Migros. I imagine the process like this:
-- I make my shopping (list) at home (it's under my profile (MY Cumulus card)
--I log in to Migros with MY Cumulus card and take out the scanner - my prepared list is loaded via my Cumulus account.
--Now everything is displayed in a logical order (I also do this at home, but perhaps not so perfectly).
--Best of all, these pending items are highlighted in pink .... The price information is missing from the transfer
--I scan the articles as before, with quantity - the articles are now highlighted in light green, the price is now displayed, the amount is added up continuously as before.
--I cannot buy an item, then it remains highlighted in yellow/pink without a price
--I can also make an impulse purchase, in which case it is also displayed in green with a price,
--I have only bought the items highlighted in green with a price - I have not bought the items highlighted in pink.
P.S. You could use normal font without price (own list) and bold font with price (actually purchased) instead of the colors -- the difference simply has to be clear.

Nothing changes in the further procedure, so I can activate the 2-fold as before in the store on the cell phone if I notice that because of spontaneous purchase over 100 CHF, or deactivate if the 100 CHF is not reached and then do not have to make a program change on my own cell phone ... I'm not talking about the battery that runs out in the middle of shopping because of the "permanent lighting"... ;-)
During the payment process (possibly with TWINT) it is also more logical to separate the Migros scanner and the payment action with your own cell phone (the scanner is then already in the discharge station)

Basically, Migros is not only responsible for functioning software for self-scanning, but also for the associated hardware.... or are you then almost obliged to buy a smartphone of a certain brand.... ?

Of course, there is nothing to be said against improving the software of the scanners provided at the same time, for example with the shopping list function mentioned above. But the disadvantage of this is that the scanners are still not available in all stores, and smaller stores in particular are often left out. You could use the system anywhere with your own smartphone because Migros doesn't need any infrastructure. In large stores, the Migros scanners can of course also be available in parallel, so that customers can choose whether to use the Migros scanner or their own smartphone.

Maybe I'm more trusting than others, but for me it would be easiest if I could enter my credit card in the app and then the amount due would be debited automatically when I leave Migros. Either by explicitly ending the purchase in the app, or automatically via an NFC tag at the exit, for example.

You can do something similar with the M-App Profile Wallet Mobles, even at the attended checkout - you have to enter a numerical code beforehand. But with TWINT, for example, this requirement (CHF 40) can also be increased. So 5-10 seconds after a payment transaction of over CHF 40, I automatically receive an SMS with the amount debited, the store location and the amount still available. This is enough for me to check.

Yes, of course, but the staff also need to be trained. I still remember well the first time I wanted to pay with a payment card (gift card) in a rural M restaurant....

By the way, at Coop you know this way of scanning and paying :

Read ALL the comments (below, > click, and > click again and again.
Not exactly uplifting, even if Coop makes every effort with every complaint....

I know, but if I have to go to a payment station or even an attended checkout (where there is no self-scanning) to do this, it doesn't save me any time compared to using my (contactless) credit card directly. On the contrary, especially for amounts under CHF 40, the card even eliminates the need to enter a PIN and take out the smartphone anyway.

In combination with scanning via smartphone, this would be interesting for me, because then you can simply walk out of Migros without having to pass a queue-prone checkout or payment station. On its own, not so much.

But of course, the staff have to be informed.

And of course, if the app is immature and sometimes crashes and loses the list of scanned items, that's not so great...

Yes, also my opinion, the card is certainly faster than the cell phone, but I personally don't use contactless, not because of security concerns, but because of the more difficult control option - there is no immediate reservation, only a final booking 2-3 days later. I always enter the receipts immediately into a cell phone program and therefore know my balance daily, from CHF 40 immediately after payment and can therefore do without a monthly check. I'm not a control freak, it's simply the "effects" of my job and therefore the procedure is simple for me.
The risk is borne by the card issuer, you only have to pay attention to 2 things: block the card immediately if you lose it and check the monthly statement and of course never let the card out of your hand....

Hello everyone

We have submitted the proposal to integrate the Subito scanner into the Migros app to the development department. They will check the possibilities and the demand and if necessary this will be implemented. However, such things always take some time, so we cannot say whether and when this will be possible. We ask for your understanding.

We assure you that we will follow your conversations and suggestions here and pass on your interesting input to the app team. After all, the app should be designed in such a way that our customers enjoy using it. That's why your suggestions are very valuable to us - thank you very much!

Best regards, Tirza

I would like to be able to select my available Cumulus vouchers and coupons directly at the Subito payment terminal without having to activate them on my smartphone first.
It would also be nice if the shopping list from the Migros app was automatically displayed on the scanner as described above.
Of course, it would be great if the scanner could also act as a "navigation system", showing the shortest route to the nearest product on the list and thus the quickest route through the store.

This is also my opinion: Put as much as possible on the Migros scanner and the Migros payment station. That's where the "secure connections" are and certainly not this open WLAN from Migros and Coop.
In addition, the screen is large, practically all controls except scanning are on the screen and anyone who has problems with such a "navigation system", for example, doesn't have to use it... ;-)
I don't like the way Coop and Passabene use their own cell phones... you only have to read the comments in Google Play... and then the complicated operating instructions:
-- to log in, be sure to log in via Coop WLAN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.coop.passabene&hl=de
Important:As this new app version works directly via the internet connection of your smartphone, it is recommended that you use the free public WLAN (free WiFi) available at the point of sale,

-- To pay with TWINT, you must then switch off Coop WLAN again, switch to your own data network and switch on Bluetooth...

then: payment/payment with Beacon does not work

Happened to me - was very annoying... ;-(
